This research aimed to examine the public's perception of the "rate of sentence reduction for reasons of mental and physical weakness" and investigate if it aligns with the actual practice. Various sources, such as the Supreme Court's Courtnet search system, the number of mental evaluation requests, and the number of articles and comments related to "mental weakness" on Naver News were utilized for the analysis. The findings indicate that the public has a negative opinion on reducing sentences due to mental and physical weakness, and they are dissatisfied with the vagueness of the standards. However, this study also confirms that the court strictly applies the reduction of responsibility for individuals with mental disabilities specified in Article 10 of the Criminal Act based on the analysis of actual judgments and the number of requests for psychiatric evaluation. In other words, even though the recognition of perpetrators' mental disorders is declining, the public does not seem to recognize this trend. This creates a negative impact on the public's trust in state institutions. Therefore, law enforcement agencies, such as the police and prosecutors, need to enforce the law according to clear standards to gain public trust. The judiciary also needs to make a firm decision on commuting sentences for mentally and physically infirm individuals and inform the public of the outcomes of its application.

This article focuses on §10 of Criminal Act of the Republic of Korea to discuss how to determine criminal responsibility of a perpetrator suffering from mental disorders, while reviewing existing process and standards of mental examination at each stage of the criminal procedure as well as exploring suggestions regarding how they should be complied. The determination of the sanity or criminal responsibility of the mentally ill as defined in the §10 of Criminal Act, by its nature, cannot be approached with a traditional, clear-cut dichotomy of biology by medical practitioner and psychology·normative science by lawyer. Looking into the actual procedure of determining mental and physical disorder with special consideration of mental illness reveals the inevitability of collaboration between lawyers and psychiatrists. In the meantime, the process and standards of mental examination at each stage of the criminal procedure must be definitive and clear. First of all, during the investigation stage, examination prior to prosecution should be more actively encouraged, considering that judging sanity of the perpetrator at the time of committing a criminal act is important. During the trial stage, the mandatory examination must be conducted depending on the sensitivity and gravity of the case. Next, medical examination to determine criminal responsibility and the one to order treatment and custody must be separately conducted in order to properly execute medical treatment and custody. Obligatory mental examination could be considered both during the stage of request for and execution of the treatment and custody. Lastly, the procedure of examination and format of examination documents need to be standardized for better objectivity and reliability.

최근에 한반도에 발생한 강설은 국민생활의 교통장애와 같은 생활의 불편함뿐만 아니라 농축산업의 광범위한 피해를 발생시키고 있다. 이번 2010년 1월 서울에는 40년만에 최대 적설량을 기록하였고 교통 및 도시 기능이 마비되는 등의 피해가 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 기상청 산하 61개 지점 최심신적설량을 이용하였으며, 최근 적설량의 확률빈도규모를 고려하여 빈도별 확률적설량을 산정하고 확률적설량도를 작성하였다. 확률분포형은 확률가중모멘트법(PWM)을 이용하였고 적정분포형으로는 Gamma 2변수를 선정하였으며, 과거 적설량 자료를 검토한바 2004년, 2005년의 최심신적설량 극값은 평균 300년 빈도, 이번 2010년 1월 서울은 약 200년, 인천, 수원, 이천은 약 50년, 춘천은 약 30년 빈도인 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 적설량에 따른 방재 기준의 개선방안 및 재설정 방향 제시에 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The reports concerning dental disease in handicapped children are contentious, and there are many differences of opinion as to what extent handicapped children differ in oral health and disease from healthy children. The present study was done by conducting a comprehensive study and evaluation of the oral health between the 267 handicapped and the 128 normal persons with regard to caries rate, occlusion and the condition of the periodontium. The result showed that the dft, the dfs and DMFT indices of handicapped persons according to age were significantly lower than those of normal persons(p<0.05). The prevalence of gingivitis in handicapped persons increased with age and was significantly higher than those reported for normal persons(p<0.001). It was found that the handicapped group had a significant difference in the class distribution of occlusion, with a higher percentage of Class II and Class III occlusion from that observed in the control group(p<0.05).

The culpability of a person, as determined by due process of law, for any of his actions that are defined as criminal. Determination of such responsibility is a legal function, not a psychiatric one, although a psychiatrist may be called upon to present evidence to the court in order to aid the judge or jury in reaching a decision as to responsibility. Determination of responsibility varies with the laws of the state in which the accused is being tried, but in general all states base their laws on three famous judicial decisions concerning criminal responsibility. 1. the M'Naghten(McNaughton) rule(a. to establish such a defense the accused, at the time the act was committed, must be shown to have been laboring under such defect of reason as not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing, b. if he did know it, he did or know that what he was doing was wrong). 2. the irresistible impulse test. 3. the Durham decision. Under the Durham test, however, the psychiatrist may give any relevant testmony concerning the mental illness at issue. The psychological and behavioral appearance of a person, in clinical psychiatry this term is commonly used to refer to the results of the mental examination of a patient. The written report of the mental status usually contains specific references to the following areas: I. Attitude and General Behavior (1)General health and appearance. (2)General habits of dress. (3)Personal habits. (4)General mood. (5)Use of leisure time. (6)Degree of sociability. (7)Speech. II. Attitude and Behavior during interview (1)Co-operativeness. (2)Poise. (3)Facial expression. (4)Motor activity. (5)Mental activity. (6)Emotional reactions. (7)Trend of thought. III. Sensorium, mental grasp, and capacity (1)Orientation. (2)Memory and retention. (3)Estimate of intelligence. (4)Abstraction ability. (5)Tests of absurdity, interpretation of proverbs. (6)Judgment.

국제연합은 1975년에 "장애인 권리선언"을 결의하였고, 1981년을 "세계 장애인의 해"로 결정하였다. 우리나라에서도 1981년 6월 5일, 법률 제 3452호 "심신장애자 복지법"을 제정, 공포하였고 1989년 12월 30일 "장애인 복지법"으로 개정하였다. 한편, 미국에서는 1990년 7월 26일 George Bush 전 대통령이 "The American with Disabilities Act of 1990(ADA)"에 서명하였다. 이 법은 인종, 성별, 출신지, 그리고 종교에 관계없이 장애자에게도 같은 시민 권리 보호를 제공한다는 것이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 장애인을 위해 설계된 건물이나 시설물들이 그렇게 많지 않다는데 그 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 신체 장애인에게 “동등한 생활의 질”을 제공하자는 데 있다. 그에 따른 목표로써 신체장애에 대한 구분이 이루어 졌고, 이동 수단으로서의 wheelchair에 대해 조사되었고, ADA accessibility guidelines가 분석되었다. 또한 인간공학과 감성공학으로 재활공학에 접근하였으며 가상현실이 이용되는 현 추세도 연구되었다. 결론적으로, 제시된 guidelines를 이용하여 가상현실의 세계에서 충분히 simulation을 마친 후에 장애인을 위한 좀더 과학적이고 합리적인 건물 또는 시설물 그리고 wheelchair를 제작할 수 있으면 한다.과학적이고 합리적인 건물 또는 시설물 그리고 wheelchair를 제작할 수 있으면 한다.

The obtained results were as follows: 1. Cerebral palsy, poliomyelitis, mental retardation, and blindness groups had a significant higher DMF rate than that occurring in any of the remaining groups. 2. Prevalence of periodontal disease in blindness, mongolism, cerebral palsy, poliomyelitis groups showed higher than that of the remaining groups. 3. Mongolism group had a significantly higher incidence of malocclusion (69.23%).

Brief hypnotherapy was used to a 22-year-old male soldier who had suffered from a hysterical aphonia for 10 days. Hypnosis was used to induce relaxation at physical and emotional levels and to influence the patient's attitude in a beneficial and therapeutic way. Self-hypnosis was taught in the first session. Notable improvement occurred after e second session and was maintained throughout 10months follow up. The hypnotic suggestion would be most effective if couched in a way which would enable the patient to perceive the dissolution of the symptom as reinforcing rather than losing face.
